“The department likely realized that, despite the DOGE cuts, IES still had a lot of congressionally mandated work to do. “I think there were some ‘Oh shit!’ moments, but nobody would say that, because they’re not going to criticize DOGE or the president.”” www.the74million.org/article/mont...

Public housing is important for our society, but it's not enough to build it. We need oversight to make sure someone keeps-up with the up-keep. Protect our initial investments--and our people--through keeping things well-maintained. apnews.com/article/new-...

It all starts with people knowing their rights. Bad landlords try all kinds of things to get tenants to leave, but the courts need to force them to follow the law and eviction process. Here are some extreme examples of what went on in Philly: www.inquirer.com/crime/stephe...

We need to pass laws that keep for-profit speculators away from our hospitals. And, in this case, when things don't work out for the profiteers, they shouldn't get to weasel their way out of taking losses AFTER they've destroyed the region's hospitals. www.inquirer.com/health/croze...

All in America deserve a free and appropriate education. The US Department of Education is resource to make sure education is available to all in the country. It's perhaps the most important function. It has slowed and almost stopped, according to their own data: apnews.com/article/educ...

Saw this on twitter. I totally agree with this. I've seen many papers that failed to cite something important from another field or subfield of study. Many researchers these days are very focused on their own field and don't have time to learn the advances in another field. #AcademicSky #Research
